US (Community Project), New York—Passenger Lists, 1875–1891

Project Home Page

About This Project

This project is a collection of passenger lists and lists of arrivals in New York, from 1875 to 1891. The passenger lists are digital copies of the original records. The earliest records were handwritten pages. Later records were usually handwritten on preprinted pages. The records are arranged by the date of entry into port. In this project, all documents that contain names of people on the ship will be indexed, including passenger lists, crew lists, affidavits, and so on.
